Basil
Twist
The Araneidae Show and Other Pieces
Following
his recent commissioned production of Petrushka for The
Lincoln Center, cutting edge New York puppeteer, Basil Twist,
returns to the Festival with this acclaimed solo extravaganza
of showgirls, lonely streets, cats, deconstructing theatres, sex,
despair, magic, metamorphosis, and the fragile web of illusion
sometimes called reality. From deep inside his puppet stage and
himself, one lone puppeteer unravels, unveils, and unleashes this
vulgar and spectacular story through the power of surreal imagery,
baroque machinery, and the heartbreaking tiny gestures of his
miniature actors.
'An uncanny experience that generates passion, daring and pure
pleasure'.
